Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."

"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI."

"The most useful features are the ability to connect different databases to Microsoft BI and explore them. Once the database information has been extracted, you have the ability to construct indicators and dashboards from the information."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility, how many ways you can interrogate the data, and the the graphical visualization."

"My primary use is for view of the dashboard."

"Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."

"The best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."

"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."

"The stability is good."

"I think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."

"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."

"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."

"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."

"It is easy enough. I don't see any real substantial improvements that are needed. It is great as it is, but its interface could be a bit modern."

"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."

"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."

"I would like them to provide a license that just allows us to see dashboards. What I don't like about this solution is that in order to just watch a dashboard, you need a license. Currently, you need to purchase a full license of Power BI Pro just to see something, which is not attractive. If you have a license, you can see a shared dashboard, but you can also build a dashboard or you can collaborate with other people. However, if you only want to see a dashboard, there is no license for that. I only want to see the dashboard, and I don't want to do anything more than watching the information on the dashboard. There is no license that allows you to see a shared dashboard. This is one of the areas of opportunity because I would like a lot of people to be able to see a shared dashboard, not to interact with it or to collaborate online with it. I would like to see more compatibility with non-Microsoft data sources. Given the fact that everything is related to Microsoft Azure and all services available on Microsoft Azure, I see that they're building more connections to Microsoft Azure services instead of other non-Microsoft services. I understand the strategy, but it would be good to have more compatibility with non-Microsoft data sources."

"Actionable insights could be better."

"Whenever you work on the same dashboard or on the same code, Microsoft Power BI doesn't have a good architecture that allows multiple people to work on the same project."

"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and configuration options, particularly for more advanced users."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."

"Excellent value for money."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"The Report Server is pretty expensive on-premise. But as long companies are happy to use the cloud version, that's very cost effective."

"The price for this solution is reasonable. However, there is an additional cost if you want to publish the dashboard privately."

"We're charged a monthly subscription fee of 500 rupees per person."

"Its licensing cost is very high. It is $20 per user, which is very high, but it is a good product, so you pay for it."

"I think it's a good price, from what I've heard. I know it's competitive with other Power BI tools."

"The price of the license can be better."

"Its pricing is reasonable for the desktop stuff, but for enterprise-level, it is a little expensive."

"The price of the solution can be expensive if you want to synchronize your data more."
